That one had puzzled me from the beginning of your first messages too. The way I understood PN (and the people I know or met) it's usually sensory first, motor skill "second", joining in a a later stage. Having only motor skill problems is indeed rare.

On the other hand, I can't explain how I can walk without any visible problems without properly feeling where my feet "are". Try knitting with a sleeping arm for instance.

Of course, not all feeling is gone, and that became clear when they gave me an epidural a few weeks back. Then you really feel how awful it is to have no feeling at all from your legs. It was scary even - although I knew it was just for another 10 minutes. Yet, even though I should not have been able to feel *anything* at that time, I did still feel some tingle from the place that usually hurts most. Part of the whole PN thing is in the brain, not just the physical nerves - is my guess.

(think of people with phantom pains in limbs that were amputated long ago... my buddy in collage had his full leg amputated at 17 after a motorcycle accident, yet he sometimes complained about pain or itches in his toes - which freaked me out at the time! I even thought he was making fun of me.)

And in some way your situation sounds more easily "curable". Fingers crossed!

Edit: I do hope they do the water & electricity thing at separate times.
